I don't give a fuck if he's transgendered or not. I really don't. I don't care if you think he is or isn't I don't care if a professional tells me he is or isn't, i don't care if a dragon invades my home, rips me in half and shits the truth that Bobby isn't transgendered down my mangled corpse. That isn't the point, it isn't the topic, and it isn't anywhere in these posts, relevant.
Bobby apparently (and you can't say otherwise because you don't know SHIT about him) looks like a girl, dresses like a girl, does girl things, and likely PREFERS being around girls.
Sounds like a girlscout to me. I don't care if he has a tiny little 7 year old penis, and clearly neither does the Girl Scouts. Only ignorant morons seem to care, actually.
Like I said, you can argue that his mom shouldn't enable her son to act in this way, that she should tell him no and not let him do it.
But the magic of this is, if he's transgendered, he'll keep doing what he's doing. If he isn't, he'll eventually drop the girl act and grow into being a male. He's 7, who cares right now. Just let him be.
Again though, this has absolutely nothing to do with the Girls Scouts, nor him being allowed to participate in them.
Oh, excuse me for writing his age wrong, I'm not sure where that came from, I suppose I was just tired in the middle of the night. Anything else?
I will let your clear attempts at offending me slide, just because you don't seem to know much of what you're talking about or what was my point.
You seem to be an incredibly angry person, you're also quick to pull out the profanities and I'm not sure why. Your assumption that "if he's not transgender, he will stop" is also false, and I will briefly explain to you why.
"It's in my D.N.A, I'm Gay!" and similar slogans are
bogus, it's been shown in countless scientific tests that there is nothing inherently related to sexuality in the human genome. This leads to an obvious conclusion - sexuality is something a human being
develops. Now that this is established, let's dwell in a bit further.
There are numerous theories about human development, but most scientists believe that a human being learns thanks to the art of mimicry. As children, we select role models and mimic their behaviour - which is a notion comming straight from
Behaviorism. It's not THAT easy though,
role models are also derrived from what we
experience and see outside the
family unit - in television, on the internet, in school. A child is almost like a
metaphorical sponge - it sucks up
behavioral patterns. Those patterns are later expressed, and much like in the animal kingdom, humans learn whether certain patterns are correct or not using a simple
system of rewards and punishments. I'm not talking about corporal punishment,
god forbid - there are different ways in which parents may convey a message.
Thing is, a message stating "you are acting wrong" can only be accepted by a
person early in development and from a person who is conscidered an
authority by the child in question. You don't just have to be a parent to tell your child what's a right pattern and what's not - you also have to
be an authority.
And here we have Bobby - Bobby who at the age of 2
decided that he will
start mimicing behavioral patterns of the opposite sex rather than his own, since as a child he knows no better. Afterall, according to Behaviorism, we are born as
blank slates with nothing coded in us other then primal instincts of survival. His mother chose not to correct this "mistake", in fact,
by not acknowledging the problem, she also
lost a little bit of the authority. Bobby was
left to be his own boss.
The tendency grew, and now Bobby not only likes "girl toys", he also dresses like girls and acts like girls -
that is now his fancy. He also reached a certain age (in most cases it's the age of 7) where
the acquisition of behavioral patterns slows down dramatically and is replaced by acquisition of "useful knowledge". The patterns turned into habbits and his likes, previously acquired, now are his personal and most likely unchangable. He will always fancy women's clothing to a certain extent because that is what was
coded in his mind as accepted since he was a child.
Obviously, when he was 2, 3, 4 or 5, nobody bullied him for it -
who would bully him in his own family. Now, he's facing a different,
school envioriment where behaviour accepted by his mother is not accepted by his group. Bobby naturally seeks a social unit that will accept him and his traits, and he found one - girls themselves.
His
primal instincts tell him to
stay with people who share his traits to enhance his chances of "survival", in the metaphorical sense. He
desires to be accepted. (from
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs).
He will
*not* stop being girly just because he'll "grow out of it", deep down he is now a
different "apple". Let's say that girls are oranges and boys are apples - you can paint an apple orange, you can spray an orange-like scent on it, you can shape it like an orange and from a distance you may be decieved that it is in fact an orange, but deep down it is an apple and it
belongs in the apple basket.
I bolded the smart and important words you'd already know if you studied the subject, for example at University, like one of us. Hint -
not you.
Bobby is no longer an "apple-like" apple, he's an "orange-like" apple, however, an apple nonetheless. He doesn't deserve ridicule or bullying, by no means! He is different though, and it's worth to understand why. Do you understand the message I am trying to convey here?
It's not too late for Bobby's parents to grab the reins of responsibility and do something about it, but it soon will be. The kid's not "7 and a girl trapped in a boy's body", he's "7 and confused", and his parent should do, to the best of their abilities, all they can to help him in his situation rather than encourage and do whatever it takes to "keep him happy". Life isn't that simple, as one of the comments says on the source site, "Sometimes we're not happy" that is how life works. If kicking puppies would make the child happy, I'm pretty sure the reaction would be different. It seems this situation has no victims, but it does -
the victim is Bobby. His parents are supposed to
raise him, not
please him.
PS: I don't have to
"know shit" about Bobby to
analyze his case.
